Gololo, however, said: ”we are giving the EFCC two weeks to arrest and investigate the former Minister of Aviation and other key participants in the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.”
He said if the EFCC could go after “Yahoo Boys,” for alleged scams, the anti-graft agency could as well go after the government officials for alleged monumental fraud .
”Only yesterday the Senate Committee on Aviation confirmed the fear and suspicion of many Nigerians, when it unearthed the issues in the aviation sector by the immediate past minister, indicating that procurement of Nigeria Air was a scam which gulped billions of tax payers funds.”
Gololo, who was Coordinator of the North-East Tinubu, Shettima support group during the general elections asked, “What happened to the M11.3 trillion spent on the Turn Around Maintenance ( TAM), of the Kaduna, Warri and Port Harcourt refineries?
”But today the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, who awarded the contracts, has gone to run for governorship election to seek immunity. “There are several other MDAs that were looted under Buhari’s administration.”
